Dedy first shared this story on Facebook in the Yamaha RX-King Indonesia (YRKI) group. Suddenly the post was immediately crowded because there are 2-stroke motorbikes that use side oil that can pass the emission test.

“This is my daily motorbike for going to work and home, even though I have a spare motorbike sometimes I change it, namely Nmax to change. One week I change,” said Dedy to Kompas.com, Friday (1/9/2023).

Dedy said he was interested in the emission test because he saw mixed news about 2-stroke motorbikes. Apart from that, he really wanted to know how many levels of pollutants his motorbike produced.

“At first, I thought that when this regulation was issued, it was normal for just a few days, but how come it was always being discussed. Moreover, I used the RX-King, which was considered a bully. Like it or not, I didn’t want to use it or was given a ticket. I tried it when I wanted to take an emissions test. RX-King,” he said.

Dedy then opened an emission test site in Jakarta, then was directed to the official AHASS Honda workshop. Apparently the Honda workshop accepts special emission tests for motorcycles with all motorcycle brands.

“I got an AHASS in Pasar Baru, Central Jakarta, a repair shop as well as a showroom. I asked (by phone) if I could test emissions even though my motorbike was an RX-King. I was quick because on the 1st (September) there will be an official ticket,” said Dedy.

Dedy then came to AHASS and conducted an emission test. Unexpectedly, after the exhaust gas test was carried out, the motorbike passed the emission test.

“I saw the emission test myself. I was told the mechanic seemed safe. I was immediately proud. Praise God,” said Dedy, who is a resident of Depok, West Java.

“As soon as there is a report from the machine, the receipt model comes out, and it is input to print the certificate and pass. So it all depends on maintenance, so my motorbike is well maintained,” said Dedy.
